To answer the question above, chapters 1-4 were serialized in Dengeki Bunko Magazine Prologue 1, Prologue 2, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 respectively. Then ch. 5 came in Dengeki Bunko Magazine Vol. 3, and along with that volume also came a "To Aru Majutsu no Index SS Special Edition" booklet, which contained chapters 1-4 and a special chapter.

So stillmissing, if you've read it(or anyone else who has read it), could you tell me if it ends at chapter 5 or not?

I mean, I bought Dengeki Bunko Magazine vol. 3. However, as I was skimming through the pages of the booklet, I saw at the end of ch. 4 that the story will be continued in the main magazine. The problem is, I only have the booklet right now, and my copy of the main magazine is halfway around the globe......f*** me.

1. Oh my god, this is brilliant, Index was so affected by her accidental kiss to Touma that she now no longer dares to bite him, and instead resorted to blushing and pounding her fists against his chest which deals 0 dmg Touma likewise is feeling very awkward now

"Even though being bitten is painful, but at the same time not being bitten is a very uncomfortable feeling... What is wrong with me?!"

2. The eventual family lunch is full of fun as well, like any other good mother, Misuzu is ruthless at teasing Mikoto about liking Touma. At the same time, Touma is trying to keep the secret of Index staying at his place from everybody.

Spoiler:

Mikoto: "Now that you've mention it, does anything happen naturally around you? That girl who is always sticking around you, who is she and where does she live?!"

Touma: "Who she is? well she's-"

Touma stop just short of revealing an explosive and dangerous secret. And just when he was contemplating on how to defuse that question...

Touya: "That's right Touma, who is this girl? During our trip to the seaside for a few days she was with us, but at that time you've avoided the question."

Touma: "Hhhgggh!"

Mikoto: "Se-Seaside! You guys... S-S-S-S-Stayed at the seaside for a few days?!"

Just as Touma was about to say "I-It's not what you think! Beside, why do i have to explain to you?!" Index cut in.

Index: "That short hair over there, who are you and where are you from? Are you Touma's girl friend?"

Miktoo: "Ah!! N-No, that's not what I..."

Index: "You were there cheering for Touma's school right? During the first game."

Mikoto: "I didn't- Oi, you shut up!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Index: "Touma, I'm hungry, you didn't make lunch for today?"

Shiina: "Aiya, 'for today'? Then oh is it like usually, Touma-san?"

Seeing his mother smile like that made Touma sweat buckets.

Touma: "No-No it's not like that Oka-sama! This girl just happens to stay nearby, and she can't cook, and because of alot of reasons thats why I'm helping her cook-"

Index: "That's not right Touma, it's not 'nearby'..."

Touma: "Just let me tell the story, you just keep quiet! As a girl, don't you feel ashame not knowing how to cook?!"

Index: "But I don't know what I don't know."

Touma: "You brat, you really intend to eat all the way, Index!? By the way, Mikoto do you know how to do household chores?"

(Yes, he calls her by name now.)

Mikoto: "huh? That... That... I'm currently living in a dorm, at the very least I know abit."

Touma skillfully changed the subject.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Touya: "Alright, lets eat first, Touma, thank those two ladies over there, they were waiting for you before eating."

Is it? Touma thought. Mikoto 'hmph' and hide her face, while the older girl that Touma hasn't seen before smiled at him.

Misuzu: "Alright alright, now that the person we've been waiting for is here, lets eat. hmm, you're Touma right?"

Touya: "...That's right, this kind of things isn't strange at all, what do you think, Touma?"

Tounma: "That, our family is also like that, that's no need to be alarmed....Right?"

Index: "OF COURSE IT'S STRANGE! Around Touma are women like 'Komoe' and 'Shiina' , adults that are so young that its unnatural! Normally this is impossible! In this world full of youth, what is going on? Don't tell me it's Peter Pan's Neverland?!"

Gotta love parents.

Touya: "T-Touma, Don't tell me you did something to this girl (Index) as well? Earlier you just played a punishment game to make that other girl (Mikoto) listen to you request, now this as well?!"

Shiina: "Aiya aiya, The Girl is obviously angry, yet you can change the topic easily, your mother seem to have seen this before somewhere..."

Touya: "Eh, that's right. The two of you are hiding something, am I right."

3. Later after the lunch, Touma finds himself walking with both Index and Mikoto as they finally question Touma about his relationship with the other. They soon realize that hasn't been around them all the time.

Spoiler:

Mikoto: "...For awhile now i've been wondering, why are you two always together?"

Index: "Then why is Shorthair always around Touma?"

Mikoto: "What? I-I , what do you mean always? I can't always be with him! That's... That's silly, I'm not that free..."

Index: "If thats the case, then I'm also not with Touma all the time."

Mikoto: "What? Is that so?"

Index: "Hm. Touma would leave me alone and run off at the slight sign of trouble. At a critcal point in life, he's an idiot that would run to the frontline by himself... I'm thinking it has something to do with Shorthair, right?"

Mikoto: "I...i don't know."

Then what is it? Index thought. Both girls turn and face him at the same time.

Index: "...touma always get sent to the hospital after the incident is over, what exactly happens behind the scene?"

Mikoto: "...You, does this happen all the time? on that same note, did you help those children and Kuroko...?"

Touma: "Y-You, you guys are horrible! What you saw were just the happiest moments of the year! It's not like that happened for the whole year! That erm... A person has to do 2 or 3 heroic acts per year!"

Index: "...Really just two times?"

Mikoto: "I don't think it's just three times."

Thanks for the awesome laugh

Chaoz should help baka tsuki. Your translation would be a great help to them.

Here's a brief summary of the Kanzaki SS ch. 1 for anyone who wants to know:

Spoiler for Kanzaki SS ch. 1:

This chapter revolves around a man called エーラソーン (I honestly have no idea what to translate that name to). He's a person who creates magical restraining and containment devices for the Necessarius. One day, he suddenly disappeared, and if his knowledge leaks out, it could potentially lead to magicians escaping from the London Tower. It's unknown whether he was brought away be some else, or disappeared on his own. Kanzaki was sent to find and bring him back.

At the start of the chapter, Knzaki and エーラソーン fought, but エーラソーン escaped.

The next day, a messenger (the tour guide) came to the jeans shop where Kanzaki was, and asked Kanzaki and the jeans shop owner to help with the investigation. The jeans shop owner is actually kind of like Kanzaki's "partner" and has knowledge about magic, although he's more like a volunteer. So tour guide, jeans shop owner and Kanzaki went to エーラソーン's house.

There, they found a bunch of "devices" which were not sold to anyone, and the jeans shop owner was asked to analyze them.

Also, they met a girl called セアチェル (again, no idea how to translate this name), the one who noticed エーラソーン's disappearance and reported it. セアチェル was abandoned by her parents when she was 10 and also became a victim of child trafficking. She was saved and sent to an orphanage by エーラソーン. セアチェル wanted to pursue エーラソーン in search of her purpose in life, and kept on escaping from the orphanage because of that. Eventually, エーラソーン knew about it, brought her out of the orphanage, and let one of his neighbors take care of her.

After that, セアチェル offered to help with エーラソーン's work, but エーラソーン refused. However, エーラソーン eventually noticed セアチェル's abilities to escape. Naturally, as a person who creates restraining and containment devices, this interests エーラソーン. He also found out that セアチェル escaped to search for her purpose in life. Eventually, エーラソーン decided that the only way to keep セアチェル safe is to give her a purpose in life and let her help with testing his creations. Since then, セアチェル sees this job as something that she needs.

When Kanzaki and jeans shop owner left エーラソーン's house, they took a bunch of the devices away to analyze. The tour guide went to St. Julian's Cathedral to meet with the bishop there, since the bishop seems to be concerned about エーラソーン's disappearance.

On the way back to the jeans shop, Kanzaki received a call regarding a Magical Organization that was in contact with エーラソーン before his disappearance. Kanzaki went and fought them, but the organization didn't know anything.

Back in the jeans shop, they started analyzing the devices. The owner used a magic which allows him to see the "magical blueprint" of a device, and asked Kanzaki and the tour guide to do the same and split the work so that they could speed up the analyzation process. They noticed that each of those devices have Cathedral-level strength. Kanzaki then realized that those devices were actually miniatures of the St. Julian's Cathedral, and were made to mimic the security systems in that cathedral so that エーラソーン could analyze them. They deduced that エーラソーン's plan is to attack St. Julian's Cathedral.

エーラソーン easily infiltrated St. Julian's Cathedral, and was able to reverse trap the guards, since he already analyzed the security systems through the devices he created. He went straight to the bishop's room.

Meanwhile, Kanzaki came to the Cathedral. There, she encountered one of the tools created by エーラソーン, in the form of the Gleipnir.

In the bishop's room, エーラソーン restrained the bishop and interrogated him. The bishop is actually the one behind that child trafficking project. The purpose is to give a steady supply of magicians to the Necessarius. However, the child trafficking project is not supported by either the Necessarius or the Church of England. The bishop of St. Julian's Cathedral started the project himself so that he could become a good supplier and get more merit for himself.

As エーラソーン was killing the bishop, Kanzaki came into the room. Then, it was revealed that エーラソーン knew about the bishop's project all along, even before he saved セアチェル. He had planned to kill the bishop all along, but also hated himself for being a hypocrite and getting joy from being a hero and the "purpose of life" for one of the victims of the project. Because of that, he intended to kill himself to completely free セアチェル.

In the end, エーラソーン lost to Kanzaki, and was handed over to the Church for punishment.

Not very brief, I know. And if anyone has any ideas as to what those two names should be in English, it would help.

With that done, I'm still suffering from missing chapters of the Stiyl SS that was mentioned. If anyone knows where I could obtain scans or transcripts of ch. 5 & 6, please let me know.

Thanks for the detailed summary. It really helps. But the cathedral level security it refers to the cathedral itself? right or in cathedrals in general? wow church had tight defense than pentagon.

For the first device (a pair of boots) that the shop owner analyzed to teach the tour guide the method, he described it as having the same level of security as cathedral doors (no specific cathedral was mentioned). Later, Kanzaki realized that the security systems in those devices combined actually have the exact same design as an existing cathedral. Then she said that エーラソーン is going to attack one of the Church of England's cathedrals, and that cathedral is St. Julian's Cathedral.

That dialogue was a bit ambiguous, though. So I can't say for sure whether Kanzaki actually knows the security design of St. Julian's Cathedral, or she just deduced the answer from other clues.
